Thanks for the feed back, we do our best, as the channel grows we will invest in some better audio equipment, Cheers Jonno

Hey mate we are just about to replace our tyres we will get around 70,000k from them. you can contact us by phone or email, our contact details are on our face book page and web page. JND Downunder. Cheers Jonno

pending on how bad the corrugates are, usually around 35 psi in the rear and 30 up front. Cheers

@@jnadownunder excellent thanks for the reply. Highway pressures around 100 ?

@@1greghawk 100 when towing around 90 otherwise

yes as well as an injector upgrade.

Thanks for the reply. I never heard of injector upgrades on this truck / engine. What benefits did you have from it, and who did this for you?

@@OTR-19 It was done by Isuzu, we basically run the same engine as the 230 hp

​@jnadownunder, thanks again for the reply. Still learning. Only got the truck from ATW three weeks ago and had a full size canopy fitted a few days ago. We are also towing a 4000kg caravan and after the canopy was fitted I thought I left the handbrake on the caravan on. That's how bad the trucks performance was.

@@OTR-19 A tune will make a big difference. Be sure to get a tune from a reputable agent though.👍

ATW mate

Yeah mate we have been a little quiet as we have been flat out building our house, we have a new van arriving later this year then back on the road👍

Rego isn't much moor than a Landcruiser, however its the insurance that hurts.

Hey mate, we used reverts through the slide into the aluminum backing of the tent.

Hey mate, yeah truck works well for us, we still have the troopy however doesn't get driven much these days.

Appreciate the reply mate, cheers What would you say is the reason for your not driving the troopy? Just so I can take the info and make an informed purchase whichever vehicle I choose to buy. Its looking like I'll buy a truck though Out of curiosity, how long could you live out of the troopy for off grid, how much water can you carry etc all while being within gvm? There's no point asking about how long you can go off grid in the truck because there's no comparison aha

weight is the main reason as we carry tools for work while on the road and tow a 4500kg caravan. The troopy can be off grid as long as you have access to water the battery set up will Easley run the lights and fridge. in comparison the truck has 400litres of water compared to 90, the truck has 600ah of power with 700watts of solar compared to 100ah and 100 watts of solar, the truck has a gvm of 7500kg compared to 3950kg. With that said i do love driving the troopy as it has 225 kw and 1200nm so plenty of power @@JoshSinnott97

Yep, I can relate to weight being the deciding factor. Because you could carry bigger batteries and more water in the troopy but it's useless if it's going to send you over gvm I drive a td42 so a truck is probably faster than my forklift engine, with a troopy I wouldn't know what do with all that power aha Decisions decisions.. 4xo is building another troopy with an internal fitout anybody can bolt into their troopy, I'm keen to see what that looks like but my gut knows that it's hard to compete with how off grid a truck can take you and even just the bang for buck side of the truck The truck gives you free reign to go as far as you want. 400L blew me away tbh, the most I'd seen was 200L which I was still impressed by. Is that all done through ATW? I sent them an email last week but still no reply

Yeah ATW did our build, we have an underbody tank and a headboard tank as well as another tank in the canopy. I know ATW are quiet busy, try contacting them on facebook also @@JoshSinnott97

Yeah mate, keep in mind we are running at around 7 ton

@@jnadownunder fair call,7 tonne ,bloody hell

Hey Mate our tray is as low as it can go. We can access most things quite easy as most things are in draws, however for the hard to reach things we have a small ladder.

Just a nut and bolt i will see if i can get a pic for you

Hey Mate, our Isuzu tows great it is the best tow vehicle we have ever had by far. Our NPS is a manual so no issues with over heating the AMT modal did have an issue of overheating however there is a cooling fan available which solves the problem. You will be surprised at how well they tow. Hope this helps

@@jnadownunder thanks mine is the amt, after driving my 79 series manual for years I thought I would try the automatic. If I had my time again I’ll go the manual. I usually drive the truck in Manual Mode on most occasions. I frequently drive through Newcastle on my way to Byron bay and funny enough I look out for you. ( driving up from Melbourne ) Would you know who would do the cooling fan ?? Thanks I’ll be driving back up early December to take the truck to atw for some goodies for it. Thanks I asked Stuart from all terrain warriors about the cooling fan and they can’t really help me. I might ask him again when I see him early December. If you know anybody that do the cooling fan’s please let me know. Thanks again

There is a couple called No where bound touring, they have cad drawings of how to make a cooling fan on there web site. With that said Isuzu now make one for them so you can now buy one off the shelf and bolt it on. Any time your heading North let me know and we can catch up, we have a couple of acers at Stroud so your more than welcome to stay.@@erolmunur5879

@@jnadownunder thanks I’ll call Isuzu tomorrow. Perth diesel tuning do one also, I’ll make the calls tomorrow. Thanks for the offer to stay at up in Newcastle also. 👍👍

Hi mate called Isuzu they don’t do anything for the nps transmission, so I called Perth diesel and ordered a larger transmission cooler, they tell me that all the mining Isuzus use this type of transmission cooler, see what happens. Have a great day.

Hey mate, We have 50k on them now and would expect another 15 to 20 k. we will be getting another set of founders when due. They are fantastic off road, they do wear quick if driving the blacktop all the time however we find there off road performance out weighs the highway wear.

We open ours up once a week to air out when we can. it is worse on a hot day after rain.

If you work for Telstra you will know that 80% your towers in regional and remote areas (where Cel-fi’s are used the most) are configured for 700-800MHz 4G with 20MHz of bandwidth. So it’s not like using a nighthawk with an overpriced antenna is providing any advantage over a Celfi especially when you consider that you have to pay for a stupid data plan and if you want to let others use it you have to give them the wifi password and tell them not to use a lot of data. And I gotta say Optus is so much better than Telstra in regional and remote areas. Provided that they have a tower in the area, which they usually do.

@KieranMahoney incorrect information, but I'm sure it made you feel better getting your opinion out there. A mimo antenna is the way to go to provide affordable internet in rural areas or a starlink service. Newer towers generally have better equipment but trying to suggest optus or Vodafone have towers in regional Australia is a joke and country people know that. Unfortunately there are alot of armchair commentary from non experts when it comes to telecommunications in Australia

I never stated vodafone have towers in regional areas. vodafone is a joke. optus and telstra are the only providers that are expanding and rolling out new technology. In my comment I made it clear that optus doesnt have towers in alot of regional and remote communities that telstra does... Im not denying it, im a telstra customer myself and ill ALWAYS be one, because of other reasons. but ive been running dual sim using optus for a couple months now and ive been many places and not only do they have better coverage, they have way faster speeds. take koah in FNQ for instance, telstra has a tower in the centre of town while optus is on the side of the highway a couple of k's away, but they still have better coverage and better speeds, because they deploy more frequencies and have more capacity! you mentioned carrier aggregation in your original comment so i know you understand it, please tell me how is telstras ONE BAND of low freq 4G better than optus' 7 frequencies of 4G. If you still can’t reason with that than you shouldn’t be working in telecommunications you should be working for Vodafone. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of armchair commentary from out of touch people like. @tmillerau ​ ​

@@tmillerau anyways Telstra needs to step up their game on regional and remote sites, from what I’ve seen during their 2 week upgrade period they usually switch on a couple extra 4G bands usually for 4GX but in most towns it’s a lucky dip with the 5G as to whether you get mid or low band. Since you work for telstra do you know if their waiting for the 3G spectrum refarm to switch on low band in the areas with only mid band 5G. Or will it have to get fixed 16 years from now when 6G goes regional

This is very valuable information. Thank you. If 2X2 MIMO antenna is good, would 4X4 be better? Would you please recommend something for mobile hotspots?

Thanks mate 👍

Hey mate i found them on ebay they are the stick on type.

Thanks Mate 👍
